I see the Nemesis hybrid adapters have shipped and are now back to "Ships in 5 days" status.

Looked at the pictures again, trying to figure out how they really work. If I'm not entirely mistaken, it will require a little bit of modification to get working as an universal hybrid adapter.

Here's what I'm thinking... Brass disc screws onto 510 threading. Plastic disc below that as an insulator. Then tiny metal disc for battery contact. ...and then the tricky part. I believe the screw is a replacement for the positive 510 screw/post on a kayfun 3.1... and keeps the entire assembly attached to the atty; unlike how "normal" hybrid adapters, like the Fusion / MhMods, works.

Hopefully all it takes is gluing the tiny metal disc to the plastic insulator to make this universal. Might not even need that if you don't mind it falling off every time you change batteries.

... just my thoughts. I may well be very mistaken. Anyway, we should get the most important piece: the big metal disc with Nemesis threaded outside and 510 threaded inside.

They have two versions of the hybrid adapters. I ordered the other, simpler one for my 3.1.

At about the 7:30 mark he shows you how it works.

I don't own a 3.1, tho... so I'm hoping to turn the pictured one into some kind of universal hybrid adapter. Judging by all the speculations on FT forum, a lot of people believe these will work exactly like the nemmie hybrid adapters sold other places for ~$30. I don't think that is the case but still hope it can be used with some minor tweaking.

Anyway I hope FT get more hybrid adapters. Specifically 20x1 and 21x1 ones.

Don't strain your brain:
Brass screws to 510 Devices
Plastic Screws to remaining 510 threading
Small ring Threads into Plastic
Small screw is adjustable 510 contact pin

* Device center pin MUST extend below outer Negative of 510
*Adapter will not secure on devices with short threading - will screw past threads, keep spinning and not establish a good negative path*
***NOT Designed for Center(BOTTOM) Air Hole Devices***

And on that Note..................

I have a couple of Black Nemesis tubes, a couple of Nano kits and 2 more $14 Kayfuns on the way. Cant wait for them to get here.
Plans for a Black/Brass Neme/KFL combo that should take front row center in my collection.:D

I'm curious to know how the Nano Kits work on the $14 Kayfuns... I too have some on the way. I read it takes a bit of tinkering. Let me know crxess.

Herp derp, waited a month for a package to ship. It got delayed due anodized nemesis tubes, so i got them to split the package.
Very nice now they sent the package!

However they sent it to spain and not sweden... (spain country code: ES | sweden countrycode is: SE)
So they got it mixed up, i think this is singapore posts fault and not fasttechs.
(I can read that it's stated sweden on the package due the image they give you)

Anyone have had this issue?
Trying to figure out estimated date i'll get it. ^^
I assume spain will ship it to sweden due wrong shipping? Or will they just send it back to singapore post?
Considering ordering a nemesis here in sweden due i'll get my tubes way before i get the nemmy from FT ^^

Wow, must have been shipping out alphabetically this week. I had 4 items sitting in Ready for packaging for 2 days before they got around to them. A dozen others ordering similar had posted theirs shipped a day earlier.:glare:

Still 2 days ahead of original estimated Ship date. :D
Already showing in Acceptance :D

Should get corrected in-route. No Idea if it wall cause much delay.

Nano Kit fits well(at least on my 3) Take your Time connecting the Center tanks to the rings. Fine threading is easily crossed.
Downside on this version. Due to solid top cap, e-liquid capacity is limited to 1.4ml.:facepalm:
Makes one .... kicking replacement for an Evod or T-3-mini :lol::lol::lol:

Small PSA i got a Taifun GT and a Taifun GS from vaporbreak because FT TGT has been stuck at Ships in 10 business days forever. The one i received from VB seems to be the 22.42 TGT that FT has.

I had the $22.42 ordered from last week, it had a eta of 31st but I knew it was too good to be true lol. messaged them to ask how long in the queue I was to just be told the manufacturer cant handle demands and it is backlogged. so went with the cheaper just but hope its ok, seen alot say both are good and bad so must just be pot luck. its at ready to ship but I know my luck and it wont ship tomorrow so ill end up haveing to wait to the 8th when they come back fs.

That's funny cause I was just looking at that and laughed at "authentic", I have a smok kick or " stomp" as it says on the box. It's decent, can't use it below 1.2 ohm but it was cheap what do you expect.

Their other kick is just like that one. I had two short out in my Silver Bullet. Have another kind on its way. So they have 4 kicks with 2 being exactly the same now?

I left a message more than twenty four hours ago. How long was it before they answered it? I also wanted to change my order because it was restocking.

Goes to Jamaica, NY for Customs. Sometimes it's scanned, sometimes not. Should only be a day or two and then it'll be on it's way to your nearest depot. Then it goes to your local PO. Maybe 3 days all together.

My order for 4 Kanger clearomizers (two EVODs, two T3Ss) is now showing "Processed through Sort Facility ISC New York NY (USPS)." Does that mean it is done with customs and on its way to me, or does that mean it's just now entering customs?

My order has been in the "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" status for 2 weeks now and I was just wondering is this China customs? And what's the longest you've had an order in that status?

About 3 weeks. Opened a ticket asking if they could do anything about getting it moved or check on it seeing how they were in China. They said it had been shipped to America. About 3 to 5 days later it shows up scanned at the sorting facility. USPS is very bad about not scanning.

next day they messaged me back to which I asked it to be changed to the other one and got a answer again the next day that it was done just cheek its correct and its already in packaging, hope it ships out tomorrow now. if you change it to the cheaper one it should ship fast like me but you will have to wait probably as its near the weekend and they are closed on monday.
